Family Life can be tough but having fun together can be a beautiful thing! If you have a child aged 5-10 years you can either contact us yourself or ask someone such as your child’s school or health visitor to on your behalf. Your befriender will visit you each week for up to 2 hours either at home or in the local community for up to 6 months – sometimes you might just want to chat about family life, other times you might want to go out and do something locally with your befriender.
We can:
- Provide a friendly listening ear for a parent struggling in isolation.
- Support families to continue with keeping a routine going.
- Discuss behavioural issues parents may be experiencing with children.
- Help with the planning of days and evenings to keep stress to a minimum.
- Help you feel more confident as a parent and explore ideas and solutions together
- Support you to become more active like going on short walks or playing outside and inside with your children
- Come up with lots of ideas to have fun together as a family and get fitter
